Chapter 12 Interview
As December approaches, the temperature in Brazil generally drops below 20 degrees. Although the sun is no longer so sunny, the weather is still like a steamer, allowing citizens bathing in the sun to steam saunas.
Get off the expressway from the gas station No. 70 on National Highway 116, and there is a very narrow dirt slope on the side. This is the only road leading to the Jukitiba Villa station.
Zou Xiaoqing held the map in her left hand and the microphone in her right hand, but her mind was drifting thousands of miles away.
This time, eight people from the newspaper participated in the "election" and in the end she was the only one who was "selected".
what does that mean?
Is it my ability excellent? Or is the president interested in me?
Such an out-of-the-range interview will inevitably make her feel different for a fresh graduate who has just graduated.
The van was trembling on the dirt road, but the driver was very bold and did not release the accelerator from beginning to end.
During a bumpy ride, Zou Xiaoqing, who hit her head, finally couldn't help but get angry. But with a "squeak", the van stopped.
An iron door appeared on the left hand of the dirt road, and there was a sign with "There is an evil dog inside" hanging on the door. Zou Xiaoqing's eyes lit up when he saw these four words, because the sign was obviously hung recently, and the content was in Chinese.
"We're here?" Zou Xiaoqing immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the car. The depression that had just hit the head was wiped out.
"It should...it should be here."
The man sitting in the passenger seat did not get out of the car. He rolled down the window and looked around, his face full of uncertainty.
"Brother Liu, why haven't you got off the bus yet? It's right here, let's go in quickly. Guidance Zhu and others may be waiting for us!"
"Wait." The cameraman and translator named Brother Liu waved his hand, then turned his head and started to communicate with the driver beside him.
After a few words of exchange, the driver opened the car door and jumped out of the car, and walked towards the door of the manor.
A black woman was sitting at the door, with handled fish on the chopping board in front of her. The woman and the fish looked at the unexpected guests curiously.
After contacting these days, Oliver can already tell from his appearance and language that the girl wearing a beige gauze coat should also be from China. But she did not rashly go up and say hello, after all, she didn't know what these people were doing here.
"Hello, may I ask..."
The driver stepped forward and negotiated with Oliver for a few words, then returned to the car and talked for a long time with dancing hands and feet.
Finally, Brother Liu looked frustrated and shouted to Zou Xiaoqing, who was enjoying the flowers and plants on the side of the road outside the window, "Xiao Zou, hurry up, get in the car, have we been to the wrong place?"
"What? Are you from the wrong place?" Zou Xiaoqing was shocked and hurriedly put down the unknown flowers he had just picked, and came to the car in two steps.
"Brother Liu, what's the situation? Isn't this Jianlibao's training base?"
"This is Jianlibao training base." Brother Liu pinched his Jingming acupoint, "but this is where Jianlibao lives, not where he trains."
"Where is the training place? Let's go there quickly!" Zou Xiaoqing said hurriedly.
"That's why I asked you to get in the car." Brother Liu sighed, "Oh! I'd have asked in advance if I had known it. I didn't expect that the training ground and the place I lived were so far away, which made me spend thousands of Cruzeroreals in vain!"
The Cruzero Real was a currency issued by the Brazilian government in 1993, but this currency was only circulated for more than a year and was replaced by the new real in 1994.
......
"Suspense, stand at attention!"
“Turn right!”
"Run, go!"
“One, two, one, two, one!"
“One, two, three, four!”
“One, two, three, four!”
"One, two, three, four!"
"One, two, three, four!"
On the Jianlibao training ground, loud slogans frequently sounded.
After the van stopped, Zou Xiaoqing didn't care how many bags he had hit on his head during the way, hung up the camera and picked up the microphone and hurriedly ran out of the car.
I finally got an opportunity to be interviewed by an outsider, but I was still late! If the president knew about this, I would not scold her half to death.
Many local Brazilian residents have gathered around the Jianlibao training ground.
They watched the "gymnastics performance" of Jianlibao members as if they were celebrating the festival.
Accompanied by Zhang Jian, deputy leader and translator, Zhu Guanghu faced several camera equipment that was larger than Brother Liu's shoulders, and answered various questions raised by the reporter with a serious expression.
"Quick, hurry up, Brother Liu, hurry up."
After running regardless of his image, Zou Xiaoqing quickly got into the crowd opposite Zhu Guanghu.
"...Coach Pascal is an excellent coach. I think under his leadership, the Jianlibao Youth Team will definitely become a team that is in line with the international level. Thank you."
After Zhang Jian finished translating, sparse applause rang out around him.
Seeing Zou Xiaoqing in the crowd, Zhu Guanggu's eyes lit up and quickly pulled Zhang Jian and pointed.
Zhang Jian understood, and after a few words of communication, he took the local media and Liu Zhicai to the players in the training ground.
"Hello, Coach Zhu, I am Zou Xiaoqing, a reporter from Sports Weekly. Sorry, there was something wrong with the car on the way, so I came a little late."
"It's okay." Zhu Guanghu waved his hand and said generously, "It's better to be late than not. If you don't come, I really think something has happened to you! The public security here in Brazil is not like in China, and the residents here all carry guns."
"I know." Zou Xiaoqing stuck out his tongue. The driver they hired was full of bulging waists.
"Okay, can we start?" Zhu Guanghu said impatiently.
Due to language barriers, Zhu Guanghu was very restrained in front of local media. Now that the interviewee has become a compatriot in China, he must of course "show off" it.
"OK, I'll count to three, let's officially start." Brother Liu made an OK gesture and then carried the camera.
"Hello, everyone, I am Zou Xiaoqing, a reporter from Sports Weekly."
"I am now in a clearing in the suburbs of Jukitiba, Brazil, and this place was transformed into a football field by the athletes of Jianlibao not long ago."
"Behind me is coach Zhu Guangpu and coach Zhu. Come and say a few words to the audience."
"Hello everyone in front of the TV..." Although it was a recording, Zhu Guanghu still looked righteous.
"The host is right. Not long ago, there was a weedy open space here, with only two lonely goal racks."
"We have abandoned the grass again, drew the lines, and even knitted two nets for the two goals..."
Under Zhu Guanghu's introduction, Brother Liu received all the newly renovated Jianlibao training ground into the camera.
I have to say that with the busyness of coaches and players in the past few days, this cultivated football stadium has become so interesting. Ou Chuliang's fishing nets hung on the goal are a finishing touch, adding a lot of vitality to the entire stadium.
After introducing the stadium, Zhu Guanghu pulled Pascal to his side again.
"This is our foreign coach, Mr. Pascal, and he will take office today."
"And I want to introduce this person to you, Ou Chuliang, the captain of our Jianlibao Youth Team."
"Click!"
As soon as Zhu Guanghu finished speaking, the sound of a shutter sounded in front of several people.
There were several consecutive "clicks" sounds, and after Zou Xiaoqing pressed the shutter at Ou Chuliang for more than a dozen times, he reluctantly put the camera back on his chest.
Zhu Guanghu is not surprised by this, because when Brazilian local media just interviewed, some female reporters kept turning on the flash lights at Ou Chuliang.
After taking the photo, Zou Xiaoqing took out the microphone under her armpit as if nothing had happened and handed it to the three of them.
"Ou Chuliang is not only the captain of our Jianlibao, but also our translator." Zhu Guanghu said this, with a smug smile on his face. "These days we went to Sao Paulo and Jukitiba to purchase, and they were all coach Liu and Ou Chuliang. Ou Chuliang can speak fluent English and communicate with locals without any problems."
In fact, Ou Chuliang not only speaks English, but also speaks Portuguese. But only Li Ying and Li Jinyu know about this, so when purchasing, Ou Chuliang took the opportunity to save Jianlibao a lot of money.
"I wonder where Ou Chuliang plays on the court?"
"Me? My position is the goalkeeper."
"Goaler! Good goalkeeper, a good goalkeeper is the top half of the team. Then Ou Chuliang, where are you from?"
"I am from Shenyang, Liaoning, and I represent Liao Football Team to be selected as Jianlibao."
"Liaojia! That's really a great team. How old are you this year, Ou Chuliang?"
"I'm from 77."
"It's 77 years... I'm six years younger than me. What is your zodiac sign?"
"Cough cough cough..." Seeing that Zou Xiaoqing was "not doing her job properly", the questions she asked became more and more outrageous, and Videographer Liu had to remind her.
"It's okay, it's the recording anyway, I'll ask the last question!" Zou Xiaoqing completely carried forward the unreasonable style of a woman and continued to stretch the microphone forward.
"Uh, ahem, your microphone hit me." Ou Chuliang moved the microphone awkwardly. "I was born on May 5th, so I don't know if the constellation is."
"Is it May 5th? That should be Taurus! Taurus boys are so calm and capable..."
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." This time even Zhu Guanghu felt embarrassed.
"Okay." Zou Xiaoqing shook her long hair, "Ou Chuliang, I want to interview this coach Pascal. Can you translate for me?"
"No problem." Ou Chuliang nodded affirmatively.
"Oh yell!!!"
At this moment, a burst of cries from the court attracted the attention of several people, because the laughter was mixed with the booing of the locals.
"What's going on? Let's go and have a look!" Zhu Guanghu and Pascal nodded, and directly led Ou Chuliang to turn around and walk towards the crowd.
Zou Xiaoqing also made a "follow" gesture to Brother Liu, then trotted behind Ou Chuliang and pulled the corner of Ou Chuliang's clothes.
Chapter completed!
